Integrating point glacier mass balance observations into hydrologic model identification

The presented analysis shows that it is difficult to show whether accounting for the cold content of snow in the context of a conceptual hydrological model without energy balance

domain (the Swiss Alps, 300 200 km) implies that meteorological fields have to be used instead of data from individual weather stations [e.g., Klok and Oerlemans, 2002] or

The explanatory model and geomatic treatments are designed to help understand mass balance behavior at a local scale over the Austre Lovén.. It is an original

Regarding the detection of the annual end-of-summer snow line (SLA i in Equations (1) and (2)), the authors used 131 images from different satellites (SPOT 1–5, Landsat 4–8 and

Our study ana- lyzes the point mass balances at glacier-wide scale for four glaciers located in different climatic regions of the world using a statistical model in order to take

We find that the slope of the glacier tongue, mean glacier elevation, percentage of supraglacial debris cover, and avalanche contributing area all together explain a maximum of 48%

3.2 Influence of the supra-glacial debris cover on the mass balance variability In this section, we test the influence of the percentage of supra-glacial debris cover.. on the

The annual mass balance of Saint Sorlin Glacier was compared with the minimum albedo value (av- erage over the whole glacier surface) observed with MODIS during the ablation season..
